Hello from SpencerC;
I really appreciate all the people who put 3D models out there for free - some are amazing detailed, and it's genuinely generous to give them to fellow 3D artists when they could easily sell them.
I find them essential for making anything, as I often don't have any money left after paying for internet access, and building models takes me simply forever.
After a 6-hour-plus search of free 3D sites, I still couldn't find a batch of aircraft and vehicles I'm looking for - early WWII French, British and German ones. If anyone knows where I can find then (for free), I would be really appreciative (and I'll list you on the credits of whatever I use them in). (Just about any format is OK, except Cinema 4D or Maya. I'm looking for a medium level of detail - that is, they don't looking angular and blocky at least untill you get close to them. I don't need rigging or any movable parts.)
Here's what I need:
French aircraft:
Amiot 143 Amiot 350 (any of that series - the 354 particularly) Breguet Bre.690 (any of that series) Bloch MB. 131 Bloch 174 Breguet 19 Dewoitine D.502 Farman 222 Liore et Olivier LeO 451 Morane-Saulnier MS. 225 Morane-Saulnier MS.406 Mureaux 113 Potez 63.11
Curtiss Hawk 75 (I know it's American built, but the French used it)
With the French vehicles, I'm less choosey and are just looking for any of their early-war medium/heavy tanks, and at least one of their trucks (any assorted vehicles like staff cars, infantry carriers, armoured cars, etc. would be good too). In addition, I'm looking for a light anti-aircraft gun and a heavy one, and one of their AT guns. And a French infantry helmet.
British aircraft:
Armstrong Whitworth Whitley Avro Manchester Avro Anson Bristol Blenheim Bristol Beaufighter Bristol Beaufort Fairey Battle Fairey Swordfish Halifax Handley-Page Heyford Handley Page H.P.52 Hampden/H.P.53 Hereford Vickers Wellington (the one on Sketchup was too low resolution, and too many corners had been cut making it) Westland Whirlwind
Boston Havoc, aka DB-7 (once again, I know it's US-built; but I'm looking for the earlier models used by the British)
With the British vehicles, I'm looking for a heavy tank (a Matilda I or II) and a light tank (a Mk VIC, Mk VIB, or Cruiser tank) as well as some truck(s) and some assorted vehicles (I've already got lemonsong's Bren carrier, but what I've seen of it looks a bit chunky) - most particulary an armoured car. Likewise, I'm looking for a light anti-aircraft gun and a heavy one, and a 2 pounder AT gun.
German planes: Ar 68 (a biplane) Bf 110 Do 17 Ju-88 (the Sketchup one is too poor) He 100 Henschel Hs 123 Henschel Hs 126 And a big WWI German bomber, like a Gotha, would be really useful too.
With the German vehicles, I'm looking for a PzKpFw I (though if you know of any other aircraft/vehicle models of this period I'd love to know anyway). Also I'm looking for one of their light anti-aircraft guns, and a light AT guns.
Quite a wish list, I must say. Thanks ahead of time for any help with it. And thanks for all the free 3D models.
